Very Well

And you say

By Majeeda Tatum-AndersonPublished 6 months ago • 1 min read

Very well, so you’ll be my friend.

Very well, and you’ll help me when

I’m lost. I’m angry, I lose my way

and you say very well.

I say it’s the end.

Very well, then I try again.

You watch, you wait and I lose my head

and you say, very well.

You were my pleasure.

My rainbows-end treasure

and I want to tell you what you mean to me.

You were the only

to welcome me wholly

and I want to tell you what it means to be

what it means to be so loved.

You were my pleasure

My rainbows-end treasure

and I want to tell you

what you’ve been to me.

You were the only

to welcome me wholly

and I want to tell you

what it means to me

What it means to have had your love.

But still there’s a voice inside

telling me that something just ain’t right.

It’s telling me to walk away now.Telling me

don’t look back don’t regret it.

But still I try to understand it,

still I try to change and command it.

Only to find me fighting me

hurting me

and wanting me to say it’s

Very well, that the time has come.

Very well, it’s been so long.

You’re happy, I know and I wish you well considering everything.

So very well.

Very well.
